Brett, the trick, I think to getting use to the software, managing the internet connection, and most importantly utilizing the various trading routes, is to ask questions here and on the chat channels.
Thanks to guys like Trader Alan, phactor, irby, um i mean taf, sword etc, learning how to make use of the software is easier than it ever has been.
The trick is to ask questions, don't be too proud to ask the simplest questions and you can get a good handle on things in just a few days.
Besides it is very much worth it. You can make serious loot with these tools if you behave yourself!
good luck!
